The Parkers

Amy, Alex, Josh and Janie made it out to Hawaii for vacation while they are on Alex's block leave before his upcoming deployment. Amy and I went to college together (and played soccer) and Alex and Leevi went to college together (and did ROTC). It wasn't far into our freshman years that we realized that each other new one anothers significant other and Amy and I took many a road trip together from Longwood to Old Dominion to visit the guys. And here we are 13 years later!!!!!

We had a great visit. The Parkers were able to get out and about the island during the day while I worked and then we had plenty of time to visit in the evenings. Hailey and Josh had a typical 3/4yr old love-hate relationship, but actually I was quite impressed with how well they got along. Kailee was a bear the whole time Amy was here. She was cutting two molars and a little tooth on the bottom (she is a monster when her teeth come in!) So between that and the fact that she thought that EVERYTIME I left the room it was to go somewhere and have Amy babysit, she was far from her typical cute self! But overall it was a great visit and we wished they could have stayed longer. Maybe one day our families will be stationed together!

I like this one because Josh is like, "Um, Hailey, could you just stand still for one second so we can get this over with and go play?!"

And again, this sums up photo attempts with multiple children! :)
